Hi
Hello
I am new to this group. and I was just diagnosed with Diabetes... I only know some things about diabetics.. My grandfather was one and I whatched what kind of foods he ate when I was a kid.. And I NEVER understood why he only ate those things.. Until I was explaned to by my mother... Now when I was diagnosed, I thought this was a nightmare... That it can't be... I'm 23 and newly wedded.. My husband has been my support and food messurer making sure I receive the right amount for the past 5 days.. Next week the doctors are suppose to take a sugar test and put me on meds... I started searching for others and came upon this group... I hope to learn more ways to cook and deal with diabetes.. Lady D AKA Maria |

Hi
Glad you found the group.
There are two really great books you might want to pick up. 1. The First Year Type 2 Diabetes, an Essential Guide to the Newly Diagnosed. by Gretchen Becker. This book will teach you a lot. It helped me get through the start of all this one year ago. 2. Atkins Diabetes Book. Excellent review of drugs available. How it affects other body functions like lipids, Recipes for low carb eating and the reasons why a low carb approach is best. You can get this on Amazon for about 50 cents plus shipping. Good luck and stay tuned here. Ed It happens that formulated : > Hello > I am new to this group. and I was just diagnosed with Diabetes... I > only know some things about diabetics..

Hi, Maria - sorry you had to join us, but welcome! Your grandfather would have had to try and keep control without the benefit of a meter - life will be a lot easier for you in several ways. Here's how to use your meter to best effect: http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/...0Diagnosed.htm Exercise is really important too. Do you do any at the moment? If you don't, try a short stroll an hour after your midday and evening meals. You'll be surprised how much it helps with control. Nicky.
